ECG-based Predictors of Re-infarction or Death on the Hospital Admission 12-Lead ECG among UA/NSTEMI Patients: A Protocol for a Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Abstract:Background The incidence of unstable angina/ non-ST elevation MI (UA/NSTEMI) continues to rise. The electrocardiogram (ECG) remains the first-line assessment of cardiac conduction and myocardial ischemia, and is performed within the first 10-minutes of hospital presentation. Despite recent advances in treatment, in-hospital death and re-infarction continues as a result of delayed interventions. Since the ECG is a rapid test to guide treatment decisions, it is crucial emergency providers understand the prognost… Show more
